In addition to the questions posted on this page, we also answer questions posted in reply to the event on LinkedIn and X (Twitter). Here are the questions we answered:

Question -- Some of my customers are asking, if we unified Autopatch and Windows Update for Business, I still see Windows Update for Business policies in Intune, but I also see Autopatch policies in Intune, as we unify this, where do I set my policy? - answered at 0:51.

Question from the Tech Community -- Hi, how long does it take for a device to see a Windows 11 optional feature update after it has been created in Autopatch? - answered at 1:54.

Question from Tech Community -- Will we be able to assign autopatch rings to users in the near future? - answered at 4:37

Follow up details for question above -- We have a more user/persona centric configuration mindset here. Our device naming schemes(very generic) would not allow us to point updates to IT personnel, or other groups before going more broadly out to users in the other rings. With WuFB, we assigned the rings to the users, and this has worked so that there is no administrative overhead to managing devices(new or replaced devices) in the early release rings and so on. -- answered at 9:03.

Question on X -- Is unified update management a "thing". Related to the unified update platform (UUP) or no? Not sure what this is. - answered at 5:53.

Question from Tech Community -- Is there a way to have a report that shows multiple driver update group results instead of having to go to each one, click on generate report, and wait? - answered at 8:13.

Question from Tech Community -- Are there any plans to introduce a feature in Autopatch that allows for the release of Safeguard Holds? - answered at 9:46. To learn more go to https://aka.ms/safeguardholds


Question from X -- So this is changing where stuff is in Intune and what the panes are called? Nothing really changes for us if we are using WUfB today, but don't want to subscribe to Autopatch? - answered at 13:32.

Follow up question to question above -- What about reporting - does that change at all if I’m not using Autopatch or if I am using Autopatch? Are there different reports for me to use? - answered at 14:41.

Question -- What are some of the questions customers have for you when it comes to Autopatch, Windows update, etc. What do you recommend to your customers? - answered at 15:12.

Question from Tech Community -- Are there any plans to add a "Latest" option to the Feature update policy's "Feature update to deploy" setting of Intune Windows update management? I was wondering why my Intune managed devices were not going to Windows 11 24H2 yet and then remembered this setting still has to be changed manually each time a new H2 release comes out. - answered at 18:13.

Feedback from Tech Community -- Any future improvements coming to the views inside of Intune Driver update profiles/policies? Right now, we can see the number of Applicable devices for a driver, but not what applicable devices they actually are. This would also be great to see in reverse - i.e. one could go look at a Device object in Intune and see what drivers are installed, need review, or were declined (I know Device query exists, but a default view under "Monitor" would be great! - answered at 20:21.
